Hi Georgia Girl,

I know where Dunn is. One of my friends from college was from there. I'm glad you are liking it. What part of GA are you from? I have been going to Roswell for my fills.

I loved it in Dunn and wish we could have stayed there longer. My husband's store was closed and we had no choice but to move back to Georgia. I live in Moultrie now, I'm originally from the tiny town of Norman Park.

Hey everyone! My name is Lauren and Delaware. Not banded yet but I'm currently in the process of waiting to get a surgery date. I am hoping to get a date in March so I can recover over my spring break (I don't want to miss too many classes) =) So far I am really excited to move on to this new phase of my life, but just a bit nervous.

I am 27 will be 28 in March.
ME TOO! On the 16th.

Hey twenty-somethings! My name is Sabrina. Like nadean, Im 27 turning 28 in March. I was banded on sept 25th 07 and so far Ive lost about 52lbs. Im happy with that but Id hoped for more, I cant lie. Ive been fat my whole life so this isnt a journey back to when I was skinny. This is a journey into uncharted territory and Im trying to be brave.

Im an unemployed recent grad, back home after finishing school in upstate NY. Im a native and life-long Manhattanite. A city girl through and through.

Im happily child-free but regretfully single. Im hoping that as I lose weight Ill start to date more. It a little tough being a fat girl in this city.

Sabrina, you will be amazed at the attention you start getting from guys that you thought might never be possible. I never dated back when I was 300+ pounds, but since losing the weight, I've dated here and there. I see it as "practice dating" because I never got to experience it before. I know my prince charming is out there somewhere...:smile:

Hey everyone! I'm Jennifer and I am 23. I am single and a college student. I am studying interior design and should be done in about a year. I have had some pretty good success so far, but I am having trouble with the last 35lbs. Hopefully, if I relax a little it will all melt a way. Its really great that we all did this in our 20s. We have the rest of our lives to be "skinny."

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
